Second Analects

Scholars today usually concur that the Second Analects date to 325-326. Within these chapters, the concepts of IDIC (Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combinations) and Kaiidth (What is, is) are introduced to the Vulcan populace.

oSidzhan,

You’re welcome,the comment is genuine. If I translaited your comment correctly. Since I’ve no access to any Vuhlcansu speakers,I’m learning this hard way. :)I’m gratified to know there will be more of the Analects forthcoming. Do you mind if I post these to a forum,crediting your site and sources from which you obtained the writings?

oT’Mynn,
I do not doubt your sincerity. You and Briht’uhn are most kind, but as Surak once said, “There is no higher praise than ‘satisfactory.'” This may sound cold to humans, but we’ll see what he meant by that in Parts 7 and 12 of the Analects. There are 13 parts in all. By all means, please share them with anyone you wish.

oSIdzhan,
sochya en dif. itaren n’oklem. “Satisfactory” isn’t cold to me. If a Terran understands the culture and the person which is speaking, it can be taken as a positive sentiment. Sine I happen to to study other cultures, their languages, and people, I won’t look at them through my culture’s point of view as it is not.

I will post these to a Vulcan guild forum for discussion. So far the response has been.. most satisfactory.

” I said nothing and watched him work. He told me of other times when someone had offended him, and I became alarmed at the violence within him. But I listened and nodded with understanding. Although I did not agree with his behavior, I gave him my respect. As a guest in my house, he could expect my courtesy. ”
I so often find myself in this position, and feel the same dilemma.
